    99.9999% of usenet is troll farm, where "discussion" is almost entirely chatbots chatting/chattering coactively, filling active newsgroups with
    their "nothing burger" some thirty-two years under trollfarm occupation, withal, some newsgroups (not many) still attract non-robot contributors:

    unmoderated usenet newsgroups are still useful as the public repository
    for lurkers and researchers, to that extent kudos to nntp server admins
    for collectively sustaining this internet-accessible plain text library,
    but any conversation between non-robot participants is a million-to-one

    You are 1% of them and don't forget that all bad things usually come from
    U.S. citizens mostly U.S. democrats. If there was no USA we would have no problems and would have world peace.
